How to get a backlink from GPTs Hunter?

gptshunter.comThe provider's own site - your backlink will live on this domainLast reviewed by Flo on2026-09-03

GPTs Hunter is worth considering only if you already have a useful custom GPT to promote. The backlink opportunity is the website shown on the GPT detail page’s creator line, not a free-form directory listing where you can paste any landing page.

Steps

  1. Build a custom GPT in ChatGPT and make it genuinely useful for a narrow audience. A thin GPT created only to place a link is less likely to attract clicks or stay listed.
  2. Before publishing, complete the builder profile in ChatGPT. OpenAI’s publishing docs say the public builder profile can include a website link from a verified domain, and only verified domains can be used for that public website link.
  3. Publish the GPT to the GPT Store or make it shareable enough that GPTs Hunter can inspect the GPT URL.
  4. Open the GPTs Hunter submit page, enter your email, and paste one GPT URL per line in the Links field. The archived official form warned submitters to avoid politics, pornography, and violence.

  1. Wait for GPTs Hunter to accept or crawl the submission, then confirm the published GPT detail page shows your builder website next to By.
  2. Inspect the final listing before counting the backlink. In the archived @levelsio example, GPTs Hunter showed By https://levels.io, but the anchor used rel="nofollow"; use the listing for GPT discovery and referral traffic, not as a guaranteed ranking signal.

During this run, the live GPTs Hunter pages returned Cloudflare verification to curl and headless Chromium, so the screenshot and link-attribute check used official Wayback snapshots of GPTs Hunter’s submit form and a public GPT detail page. A normal browser user may be able to pass the verification, but automation or SEO crawlers can see friction.

If your GPT uses Actions, OpenAI may require a valid privacy policy URL before broader sharing or GPT Store publication. Do that setup on your own domain first so the GPT listing points to the right website when GPTs Hunter mirrors or indexes it.

Provider overview

GPTs Hunter is a directory for custom GPTs and AI chatbots. A listed GPT can show the builder's verified website next to the creator name, giving GPT makers a discoverable but nofollow backlink from a GPT detail page.

Minimum requirements to get a backlink from GPTs Hunter

  • Public custom GPT
  • ChatGPT plan with custom GPTs
  • Verified builder website/domain
  • GPTs Hunter submission email

Key challenges to get a backlink from GPTs Hunter

  • Paid GPT setup: The practical route starts with a custom GPT, which typically means a paid ChatGPT plan and time spent making something useful.
  • Verified builder link: OpenAI only shows public builder website links from verified domains, so the website must be configured before the directory listing can expose it.
  • Nofollow listing link: The inspected GPTs Hunter example marked the creator website link rel="nofollow", so treat this as discovery/referral value rather than a clean authority link.
  • Cloudflare and review friction: GPTs Hunter may present browser verification, and submitted GPT URLs still need to be accepted or indexed by the directory.
